How Is Your Demo To Live Transition?

When I test a strategy on a demo account, I create a set of conditions before going to live account. Typically I set a certain percentage of profit, from 50% to 200%, depending on the result of the drawdown. If DD is too small 50% is enough for me to go live. If I don’t reach that number I don’t go live. I know each one of us have a different way on doing it. I wonder how do you do it? Thanks.

I have to add that I use only minimum lotsize most of the time when I test, so it took a while to reach the target percentage. Half of the time it is not reached, so it also took a while to find a good strategy.

3 months consistently profitable, which reinforced my backtesting.

I felt comfortable, so pulled the trigger.

I think that will work too.
